What else can I help you with?
What name is given to a process such as a burning a candle?
melting and burning
What is the difference between a goldfish and the flame of a burning candle?
the goldfish is a living thing
Why is a candle melting a chemical change?
Melting is accompanied by burning and thermal degradation - two chemical reactions.
Is a wick necesarry in a burning candle?
Yes that is what burns the melting wax prolongs the burning time by slowly evaporating
How is a burning candle both physical and chemical changes?
A burning candle involves both physical and chemical changes. The physical change is the melting of the wax, while the chemical change is the wax combining with oxygen in the air to produce heat, light, carbon dioxide, and water vapor.
What part of a burning candle takes place and physical change?
The melting of the wax is a physical change. The burning the of wick is the chemical change
What type of reaction occurs when a candle is burned?
The burning of a candle is a chemical reaction called combustion, which involves the candle wax (a hydrocarbon) reacting with oxygen in the air to produce carbon dioxide, water vapor, and heat. This reaction releases energy in the form of light and heat.
Is burning of a candle a periodic change?
Yes, the burning of a candle is a periodic change because it involves the repeated process of the wax melting, being drawn up the wick, and then being burnt, which occurs in a cyclical manner as long as the candle is lit.
Does the color of a candle affect the burning rate?
the color has nothing to do with the candle at diffrent burning rate it is the wick. We found that color does make a difference. We bought the exact same candles except each candle was a different color. Found out that the white candle burned down the fastest, the red was next, and so on. So candle wax color does make a difference in the burning rate of a candle. ( My daughter had a science experiment)
What are the steps to prove that a burning of a candle is physical as well as a chemical change?
To prove that the burning of a candle is a physical and chemical change, you can observe the physical changes such as the melting of the wax and the formation of soot. Additionally, you can analyze the chemical changes by noting the production of carbon dioxide and water vapor during the combustion process. By observing both physical and chemical changes, you can demonstrate that burning a candle involves both types of transformations.
What is the melting point of candle?
The melting point of the candle is 47 Celsius.
Does the wick effect how fast it burns?
"http://wiki.answers.com/Q/Does_the_wick_effect_how_fast_it_burns" To the best of my knowledge the speed of burning is a function of the size and volatility of the candle material. The wick serves only to keep the candle material melting, vaporizing and burning, it apparently burning at a higher temperature than the candle mass. See:http://www.howstuffworks.com/question267.htm
